Ah, the culture shock.

Learning all the subway stops again, not flinching at the sight of enough nose rings for all the prize bulls in Alberta, travelling from a place where we have drive-by BB shootings and no one can remember the last murder to where the drive-bys and other random acts of violence have racked up 57 or so fatalities thus far this year.Toronto. Hog Town.Used to live there. Not far from where Noel Coward lived for a short time.Smog. No sky above the hazy hemisphere of streetlight. Where sirens are the loon call in the night... Where the Thousand Islands are the people hanging on the straps beside you....Where the smell of hydrocarbons replace the rack and wash of the River...Where I was stalked... Where we were once the designated target of The Red Rose Sniper...
